Mate you wanna spend some time in a Saudi or the like, several times i thought we were gonna be linched in the street, just because of the way we were and acted...and we were under strict instructions to behave...which we did, but our whole personas just wound the locals up....FREEDOM...they dont have it.
We carried what we call "get out of jail free passes", from the King, as we were working for him....and I guess he knew there would be trouble.
Had to use em once too
Every book, have even the smallest of female pictures blacked out...
you could buy FHM, but looked like it had been dipped in a pot of black paint.
The girls with us could not sit in the front of cars, nor go near the swimming pool ever, even in 120 degrees of desert heat
They has to wear the full black garb to go out with us.., no matter where we went...we could wear what we like.
then there was Chop, chop square
Public floggings, stonings, and body part removal even the main control centre
dont get caught breaking the law here my friend.....its, harsh, blood thirsty, barbaric, and
very public......almost mob rule....fricken scary
went past one afternoon when they where turning the ornamental fountains on that help clear the remains away....use your imagination
The guy cleaning up looked up at me and my mate and made a gesture that this aint where you guys wanna be...followed by a very worrying Arab grin.
Got talkin to an american guy in a coffee bar, he said what ever you do dont go there during a trail day...they see your not muslim and push you right to the front and make you watch, nothing you can do... and then the cat callin to go with it....F/in scary he said
2 months of hell, and this was no war zone, this is normal life in deepest Saudi
Andy mate your in a very tame muslim country, enjoy
